DRINKS TEMPTATION.
The Power to Resist It-Strepgth of VIII
Is All That Is Renuired

Is All That Is Required.
" can take a drink or leave it alone,
Just as | please" How often have we ali
heard this boast from the lips of the young
and inexperienced 1t is uttered with a
dogmatic and self-reliant air that is sup
posed to leave no room for doubt in the
minds of hearers. Youth is naturally
prone to exaggerate its strength, and
especially when it assumes this attitude of
waving aside all ideas of doubt and uncer-
talnty IS there reason to fear that its words
are an idle boast, spoken for effect only,
and not the result Of reflection or consider
alton. There is nothing easier than to
frame an assertion in the most positive
language. Any person Of ordinary intelli-
gence can do that. But the person who is
so constituted as to realize the weakness of
human nature and the propensity of flesh
to lean upon the wrong side, and who. on
this account Is accustomed to weigh the
dangers that beset the path of life and
speak moderately, will rarely be heard to
express himself in these positive terms.
His observation has taught him that. as a
rule, men do not submit to temptation will
ingly, but are dragged down from one step
to another by weakly depending upon their
appetites-victims of the very fraiIty in
the existence of which they refuse to be-
ieve.
The strongest men, intellectually, have
been betrayed by the same small vices that
blight the life of the commonest clay. Par
tlcularly is this true of the drinking habit.
Men of the widest mental culture, the
highest principles, and the strongest sense
of hA q, %.
the lowest cravings of our fallen nature
have permitted themselves to be lured to
the brink of abject ruin by closing their
eyes to the dangers of which they are
fully cognizant. Such men fall, not so
much because they overestimate their own
strength, but because of their refusal to
make due allowance for the insidious
growth of habit. If a man can take one
drink and stop, there is no reason why, un-
der ordinary circumstances, he cannot re-
peat the experiment. 1t is the repetition
of 1t that usually disproves the truth of
the first claim. This very confidence in
ones power of self-control is a source of
weakness. 1t encourages US to meet temp
tation that fear would prompt us to avoid.
If those who profess to be able to stop at
one drink would regulate their practice on
that basis there would be far less misery
and suffering in the world The vice and
degradation that inevitably follow in the
wake of intemperance would not be so
widespread; but, unfortunately, too MANY
of those who can stop and the remarkable
power which they claim for themselves
proves no safeguard There is much more
reason to believe that men and women
who are afraid to trust their own strength
and who dread the dangers of yielding to a
desire to be sociable or an inherent cray
ing for stimulants, will succeed with more
certainty in evading the ruin of overindul-
gence than those who rely solely upon the
strength which they affect to believe re-
sides within them.-Cdtiolic Mirror.

SPRINGFIELD (nI.) November 11th.-Cap-
tain Black, counsel for the condemned An.

AT 1915 A. NJ, the conference was at an

German Crown Prince.
BERLIN, November 11th.-Advices from
San Reno are more cheerful. The swell
ing of the larynx of the Crown Prince is
subsiding, and it is expected the doctor will
be able to remove the particle of tissue on
Sunday, which he will send to DR.. Vir-
chow. There are no symptoms of a recuI-
renee of the growth formerly removed. If
DR.. Virchow's verdict on the removed por-
ton of the new growth should prove favor
able, the doctors are hopeful that the
trouble may be permanently eradicated.

REMEDY FOR MILDEw.-Readers whose
books have been or are likely to be at
tackled by mildew may preserve them to
some extent by placing a saucer of quick
lime near, in the bookcase or shelf, or
where convenient. The lime absorbs the
excess of moisture, and must be renewed,
as it becomes slaked and loses its strength.
1t is equally good for putting in linen
chests, iron safes, or wherever there is
likely to be any mustiness owing to the ex
elusion Of fresh air.-Boston Budnet.

lCopslgt, 1887, by the California Associated Press
NEW YORK, November 11th.-Herr Most's
office, in William street, was the gathering
place of the Anarchist class in this CITY to
day. In the gray of the morning Anarch-
lists Torchschmidt anP Fesselman came
down town carrying roll of Grape and a
score of red flags. With these they be-
decked the windows, doorways and walls
OF Mosts Office and the adjoining rooms
on the same floor The time-worn sign of
the chief Anarchists door, No Reporters
Allowed" was almost hidden from view bv
Grape and red bunting Most appeared at
9 9oelock, and for an hour afterward the
stairs creaked with the tread of arriving
Anarchists. The doors at the head of the
stairs were tightly closed to prevent intru-
sion, but Most was heard speaking in en-
phauc German, and hoarse cheers came at
intervals.
THEIR IDEA OF FREE SPEECH.
New YORK, November 11th.-None of
the Anarchist notables were visible TODAY.
Most, of the Freiheit, and Schevitch, of the
Leadey, were not in their offices, and it is
said that Most is in hiding. The minor
leaders went about in silence, refusing to
speak to any one not their friends. on he
ground that free speech had been strangled.

A PRACTICAL HINT.-A German au-
thority recommends as very effective an
apparently very simple method of protect
ing iron from rust. The article is i'm
mersed in a nearly saturated solution of
chloride of tin, then washed in water, and
afterward with weak ammonia. The tin
solution must not be too acid, or it will at
tack the iron. The treated metal appears
like frosted silver.

How TO Boil AN EGG.-The ortho-
dox manner all will admit is to keep it
boiling for three and half minutes, but
after you study how to practically apply
the laws of albumen coagulation, you will
find the egg much better, far more healthy
and nutritious, if you will put it in water
about thirty degrees below the boiling
point, and keep it immersed about ten or
twelve minutes. Eggs cooked in the or
binary way are necessarily raw in the mid
die, the white is subjected to higher tenn
perature than the yolk, and is, to certain
extent, indigestible. In the plan of cook
ing described, there is uniform diffusion of
heat throughout.-AAanta Constitution.
